Uwell Caliburn G5 Koko Pod Vape Kit

Description - Uwell Caliburn G5 Koko Pod Vape Kit

The Uwell Caliburn G5 KOKO is a compact pod kit from [Uwell](https://vaping101.co.uk/collections/uwell), one of the most respected names in pod system design. Built around the iconic KOKO square form factor, it steps up from earlier Caliburn models with a 1600mAh built-in battery, up to 35W output, and Uwell's PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour technology, which regulates power delivery to your coil for cleaner, more consistent taste from first puff to last. The Starlit Ocean Display, dual Waves and Storm vaping modes, adjustable top airflow, and reversible GPP pod design give you genuine draw control in a device that slips easily into a pocket.

It suits switchers moving from cigarettes or disposables, everyday vapers who want reliable flavour without bulk, and anyone stepping up from a simpler fixed-output pod kit. Orders over £50 qualify for free UK delivery, and every device comes with a full one-year warranty. At approximately 66g, this is a device you genuinely forget is in your pocket until you need it.

## Introducing the Uwell Caliburn G5 KOKO

Earlier KOKO devices built Uwell's reputation for flavour-focused pod systems. The G5 KOKO takes that foundation and adds features that were previously only found on larger, more complex hardware.

The biggest upgrade is the dual output mode system. Waves and Storm give you two distinct power delivery profiles in a single device, so you can match your draw style to your mood without carrying a second kit. Add a colour display, broad GPP pod compatibility across four resistance options, and a reversible pod orientation that changes your airflow path entirely, and you have a compact pod kit that punches well above its form factor.

The **PRO-FOCS 4.0** system is also worth calling out specifically. Rather than just running power to the coil at a fixed level, it optimises delivery across the full draw to keep temperature and vapour production consistent. That translates to flavour that holds up as the pod gets lighter, rather than dropping off halfway through a 2ml fill.

## Why Choose the Uwell Caliburn G5 KOKO?

- **Device style:** Compact KOKO pod system with a frosted shell and leather-touch finish, pocket-friendly and lightweight at approximately 66g

- **Battery and power:** 1600mAh built-in battery with up to 35W maximum output and 1W precise adjustment steps

- **Key features:**

  - Dual output modes: Waves (smooth, consistent power throughout the draw) and Storm (ramps up mid-draw for a harder, denser hit)

  - Starlit Ocean Display showing mode, battery percentage, and animated marine light effects, toggleable with 4 button clicks

  - PRO-FOCS 4.0 flavour technology, Uwell's coil-optimisation system for consistent taste across the full pod life

  - Adjustable top airflow slider plus reversible pod orientation for multiple draw configurations

  - Auto-draw and button activation (single button, 5 clicks to power on/off, 2 clicks to switch modes)

  - USB-C fast charging

  - Built-in lanyard hole for wear-and-go use

- **Target vape style:** MTL (mouth-to-lung, a tighter draw similar to a cigarette) and restricted RDL (a slightly airier pull), depending on pod resistance and airflow setting

- **Ideal for:** Switchers from cigarettes or disposables, everyday vapers wanting compact reliability, commuters, flavour chasers, anyone upgrading from a simpler or fixed-output pod kit

- **Build quality:** Frosted shell with leather-touch exterior, ergonomic grip, TPD-compliant 2ml pod capacity

The G5 KOKO stands apart from earlier Caliburn KOKO models by combining genuine mode-switching, a colour display, and broad GPP pod compatibility in a device that stays genuinely pocket-sized.

## Compatibility and Performance

The G5 KOKO uses the **Caliburn GPP (G Pod Platform)** pod system, covering four resistance options to span MTL through to restricted RDL. The 0.6 ohm pod is included in the kit and is the best starting point for most vapers.

| Pod Resistance | Recommended Wattage | Draw Style |

|---|---|---|

| 0.4 ohm | 19-35W | RDL |

| 0.6 ohm | 13-25W | Restricted RDL |

| 0.9 ohm | 9-15W | MTL |

| 1.2 ohm | 6-11W | Tight MTL |

Wattage ranges are sourced directly from Uwell's manufacturer specifications. The device adjusts in 1W steps, so you can dial in precisely rather than jumping between fixed levels. The G5 KOKO is also compatible with GPP pods from the Caliburn G3 series, which is useful if you're already holding stock of those.

- **Pod capacity:** 2ml, TPD-compliant (the UK regulatory standard for refillable pod systems)

- **Filling method:** Side fill for quick, clean refills without removing the pod from the device

- **Suitable e-liquids:** [Nic salts](https://vaping101.co.uk/collections/nic-salts) work best across all four resistances, particularly on the 0.9 and 1.2 ohm pods. [50/50 freebase](https://vaping101.co.uk/collections/freebase-10ml) e-liquids are well-suited to the 0.6 and 0.9 ohm options. High-VG shortfills are not recommended for this device.

- **Output modes:** Waves keeps power steady throughout the full draw, giving you longer, more flavour-consistent pulls that are ideal for all-day nic salt use. Storm increases power progressively during the inhale, producing a stronger throat hit and denser vapour suited to shorter, punchier draws.

- **Charging:** USB-C fast charging at 5V/2A. Uwell's own lab testing estimates up to 6 days of regular use per charge from the 1600mAh battery.

Choosing the right GPP pod resistance for your preferred draw style is the single biggest factor in getting the most from this kit. The broad resistance range means you can shift between MTL and RDL without buying a different device.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What pods does the Uwell Caliburn G5 KOKO use?

The G5 KOKO uses Caliburn GPP (G Pod Platform) pods, available in 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 ohm resistances. The 0.6 ohm pod is included in the kit. It is also compatible with GPP pods from the Caliburn G3 series, so existing Caliburn users can use pods they already have.

### What is the difference between Waves and Storm mode on the G5 KOKO?

Waves delivers smooth, consistent wattage throughout the full draw, making it ideal for longer sessions, all-day flavour consistency, and better battery efficiency. Storm ramps power up progressively during the inhale, producing a stronger throat hit and denser vapour. It suits shorter, punchier draws. Press the fire button twice to switch between them.

### What nicotine strength should I use with the Caliburn G5 KOKO?

This depends on how many cigarettes you currently smoke:

| Cigarettes per day | Recommended nic salt strength |

|---|---|

| 1 to 5 | 5mg (low) |

| 6 to 14 | 10mg (medium) |

| 15 or more | 20mg (high, the UK legal maximum) |

Not sure about nic salts? Read our [nic salts guide](https://vaping101.co.uk/blogs/e-liquids/best-nic-salts-e-liquid-to-try) for a full breakdown.

### What e-liquids work best with the Caliburn G5 KOKO?

[Nic salts](https://vaping101.co.uk/collections/nic-salts) work well across all four GPP resistances and are the recommended choice for the 0.9 and 1.2 ohm pods. [50/50 freebase](https://vaping101.co.uk/collections/freebase-10ml) e-liquids suit the 0.6 and 0.9 ohm pods well. High-VG shortfills are not suitable for this device.

### Is the Uwell Caliburn G5 KOKO suitable for beginners?

Yes. Auto-draw activation means you can vape without pressing any buttons, keeping it as straightforward as a disposable. The single side button handles power on/off (5 clicks) and mode switching (2 clicks). If you're new to refillable pod kits, follow our [coil priming guide](https://vaping101.co.uk/blogs/guides/how-to-prime-coils) before your first use.

### What is PRO-FOCS 4.0?

PRO-FOCS 4.0 is Uwell's proprietary flavour optimisation system. It regulates power delivery to the mesh coil to maintain consistent temperature and vapour production throughout the draw, reducing the drop in taste quality that can occur as a pod gets lighter. The result is cleaner, more accurate flavour from the first puff to the last.
